It's obviously a Russian proxy. The Kremlin must be biding their time after the Wannamaker humiliation of '11.

At the bottom of the page it also shows a large amount of women view CP. I have a theory. Japan is big into robots, right? Often female...sex bots, if you will. These sex bots must have gained sentience and are attempting to learn all they can about CP's highly educated population. So we should probably be on the lookout for female sex bots from Japan, in case they are up to something.

I think Bingo is missing huge potential income facilitating matchmaking between Japanese lady visitors and the nice guys on CP.

Cozy up to a lot of billionaires interested in the status quo and invest in hiring narrative trolls to trawl web comments on news sites.

Social engineering ain't cheap.

I have to agree as well though that the popularity of a Brietbart type site is irrelevant when the POTUS is basically screaming their entire catalogue and his chief advisor is the former owner.

I would say Twitter counts as one of those outlets that everyone tunes into. Especially the President's account.

Breitbart on the other hand is ranked 66 in the US and sadly hasn't seen much of a decline in traffic since Trumps win. It is almost as popular as foxnews.com and shouldn't be dismissed as being influential to the Republican base.

Some comparatives in US traffic ranking from Alexa:

CNN.com 26
espn.com 30
foxnews.com 61
huffingtonpost.com 62
hulu.com 67
bbc.com 79

Well chalk one up for bad spelling I guess *sad trombone*



Looks like they are big news, though their numbers have dipped (and stabilized) a bit.

Lost in the coverage of Charlottesville was this story.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...=.716cbad23e51

"In one conversation, he said he believed in the “Three Percenter” ideology — a form of anti-government activism that pledges resistance against the government on the belief that it has infringed on the Constitution, according to court papers."

A failed anti-government plot from the same type of people Trump enabled during his election campaign. SAD!

Protestors in Durham topple a Confederate statue there: https://twitter.com/DerrickQLewis/st...35297485901825

Love the sentiment, not a big fan of destroying a nearly 100 year old statue though.

Have to wonder where the cops are in all that.

Also, I get what they were doing, but that's destroying public property. Simply cannot go down that road IMO.

If they want it to be destroyed they should be going about it in a legal manner. I'd like to see any public symbol glorifying any kind of hate be removed anywhere, regardless of "heritage". But rightly or wrongly what they are doing is illegal. This will be used to rile up the white supremacist groups, and could lead to retaliation.

In any protest, sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. We all know who the good guys are in all this, and I see this as a slap in the face to the KKK folks. It's a statue, but it means so much more to them.
